Delicious food especially the paneer seller was amazing and very, very delicious all other dishes like the the lotus root was good nice and crispy. Then the Dhyati tested good. Puri bhaji was good. Noodles were good. Bombay sandwich is nice. Their fries were crispy and the sauce came really good even the burger was good but the roti answer so Casa tested good was OK. It had a lot of coconut. I prefer more Golconda, but overall, it was a good experience nice food so yeah Shankar was OK. Not that great.

A 5* review turned to 2 due to transparency in charges. A $100 food bill turned to a $130 due to all the hidden charges including a charge to use the credit card.

Kesar is one of my go-to places and never disappoints. The food is consistently excellent—everything from the samosas to the Manchurian is full of flavor and perfectly made. The thali is especially satisfying, with great variety and taste. Overall, everything here is awesome, and it’s a place I always enjoy coming back to.

I order chole bathure and for desert . Chole bathre was ok not the best i had .
Rabdi was a joke . I have no clue what was that . Didnt taste like rabri. Didnt look like rabdi. Please save the money Dont order rabri for sure .
And I told the owner . I know how rabdi looks and taste. Thia is far away from rabdi he just shrugged it.
If a customer is addressing some concern you should resolve . You won't have repeat customers . Any way will
Never going back again .
